"Miss, are you really going to live at the palace starting next week?!"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2qnK27TYm
Sloan raised her brows. "Now, now, you've all heard it from father, don't you?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXDhZJjSLN
The younger knights bowed their heads. Sloan chuckled.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee6lxYrRrZ
"Is there anyone going to stop me?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmk60sfRF
All the young trained knights at the training grounds stood straight, determined. Sloan almost choked in her saliva.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbfDeoJ7qD
"If you're going to stop me, you all should stop the prince first."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXGu4Y0v7g
They all seemed to lose hope when they heard her say that. Sloan smiled.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0xgM8Hw7M
These youngsters in their place's training grounds were the ones she also trained. They're more like grew up with her, treating her like she was an older sister.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQK8q13FFY
"Miss, if you live at the palace and become a queen someday, would you go visit us still?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdBioxZDeG
Sloan blinked. She looked down, and smiled. "Of course, why I wouldn't?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4kAgRUyKx
The young knight at the middle row shouted, "Miss, you know! Responsibilities! I'm not doubting your abilities Miss, but your health would deteriorate! You must always take care of yourself so you can always visit us!"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2QA3K6GQ7
"How kind, Rovan,"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG0nkb0bbO
The strong wind swayed her hair as she blankly smiled.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMjkDcyCBa
"I'm going to be a wife now, aren't I?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbFME2lHYs
"Miss, you can back out!"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVtbZSm1wH
Sloan snorted. As if she can.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTwp4zdVYx
"I wish," She whispered and turned around. "Go train now, I apologized for interrupting you all,"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh8YMlbzla
"NOT AT ALL!" They shouted.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFmtdQQLPG
Sloan grinned while shaking her head, heading her way to the drawing room where her father was.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8uGVD6lEL
"Sir," Sloan called.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht6IXNFPpF
Shae almost slammed the table. "Sloan, I told you to call me Father. Do I look like a visitor to you everytime?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZC1XYELG3
Sloan looked down and chuckled. "I apologized, Father,"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGpFu2T87Q
Shae clicked his tongue and signed her to sit. "What makes you head your way here? Any problems going on?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlrbUuBeh
"I need a carriage, I need to go somewhere."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEgK2zRC63
"...Again?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MJmvzFFh3
Sloan nodded. "The child I saved yesterday was still on the physician's place. I told you about the child, the countess made him a slave..."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNMReGdvSu
Shae nodded. "Bring a knight with you,"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj2KQUcjhz
"I can, myself,"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFmASjVj4j
Shae raised his brows. "No, Sloan,"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IOnwUUrDV
"Yes, Father."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBgWuTgUhr
Shae sighed. "...I don't know anymore, daughter. Just go."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I0ZgTSY8A
Sloan smirked. She bowed to him and left the drawing room. Shae could only suffer in silent torment.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaZhcst1ot
The carriage was prepared afterwards, as Sloan head her way out of the place. Inside the carriage, Sloan recall the days she was a child seeing her scar on her palm near the pulse.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjfFBzl68P
The other female knight was cheerfully teaching her head-straight and pose in the training ground. The other knights troupe were on a mission. It was morning. They trained for hours. When the noon comes, the female knight, Corvina, told her that she was just going to get them some water to drink because of thirst. Sloan smiled.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1MCGpBRmy
Corvina was the only female knight in the troupe, and one of the strongest and determined person. Shae told Corvina to train her strictly when he wasn't around, cause Shae know the capability of her ability. Many acknowledge Corvina because of herself, and Sloan's father was one of them.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIsCKECljb
Sloan too, she felt attached too her ever since as she can remember. She can even pass as her mother in other life.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07LJJr47Qp
As Sloan was patiently waiting, she heard step noises behind her. A rustle of the fallen dry leaves, it goes around. But she can't see anyone's sillouhette or shadows. The training ground is the entrance of the forest, Sloan can barely think.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGvfJ2LTHK
Is it a bear? A monster?
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgss8lIT9O
As she thought of that, her heartbeat goes rapid, like it's going to burst out of her any time.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnyILys5Ke
She can fight, but Sloan wasn't confident in real fights, though she always wins. She has traumas in fighting, she's still a child with little experiences.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WLMa0I47X
Sloan gulped, terrified.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSExycrTT9x
"COME OUT!" She shouted, her knees was shaking.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15aqLrFxU8
Suddenly, she heard someone chuckled behind her. Sloan has slow instincts by that time, and her palm got a slash of a sword by trying to get away with a man who has a long white hair and a creepy face.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtz0lznWnW
Green eyes, pointed nose, pretty lips, smiling creepily. By the looks of him, he looks more than the age of forty year old. So creepy! And he's holding this black sword with him, and it's emitting a black aura!
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJWiAXnEKw
This is bad! Sloan thought, she felt it. She's already feeling it. She will die! She's going to die right now! That sword has got the craziest amount of aura! More than her sword!
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhWjDvw1jo
She can fight, Sloan can fight. But she can't win! She won't win! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! SHE'S GOING TO DIE!
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG7uORsrsc
JUST WHO IS THIS PERSON?!
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVAsmTpjsl
"You...who are you?! Why are you doing here at the Blue Knight's Captain's territory?!" She tried to scare him, but it bounce back. She's too weak for this.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE81zf9O55
"Captain? Why can't you just say 'father?' Aren't you the child of that bastard prodigy that destroyed my life?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfthiz0t39
Destroyed his life? What????
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUe3P2hHxm
"What are you---! My father...he's not someone who ever wanted to destroy someone else's life!"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VcFfhmfAA
"Oho! That's right, he doesn't know!"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCKx0lKbpw
What???
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAzxwCidpI
"He doesn't know what?! Just what do you mean?! Are you fucked in the head, old man?!"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowtHqETJ63
He smiled again, creepily. Sloan wanted to run, but her feet stayed, she felt so terrified. She tried not to stutter.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fXscyWL4r
"Old man, you say, I'm almost the same age as your father."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZDBl5cc4k
Really??? What the hell??? He looks like my grandfather!
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ypdcawGk
Sloan gulped. This is crazy. She's gonna die. Run!
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGrAsokJte
She tried to move her feet. But the man warned her.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwQNQLM9oY
"One move, I'll cut your head off, young lady."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer5vnA3siN
Sloan's pupils dilated. She almost fell her sword.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRBdB7plV5
"Good lady, you really take after your stupid father who did everything I say, Foolish ones, Like low life bastards, ha! Even your mother was stupid for marrying your father and having you, now what? They separated! Ha!" He laughed crazily, telling insults.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0n8klPjTz
Foolish? Stupid? Low life bastards? He know my mother? He called her stupid...for having me? What's my fault?
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFGueqtODc
That insults was blood boiling. Sloan can't think of nothing else. It triggered her spines to attack him. She will die in honor for killing this one. Nothing else will matter after she kill him.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ic9sLNfX0
Sloan attacked, it was fast, the creepy man's instincts happened too slow, he didn't realized until his chest was deeply stabbed.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0vNFB6Pwj
His face twisted. "You little---"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIcARXEilI
That was the start of their fight. Sloan never got a chance to wound him again. Though she knows she wounded him deep, he can still fight ruthlessly. Sloan was stabbed ten times. Different parts on the body, her palm was stabbed too. She lost a lot of blood, she was miserable.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGrZYkagfa
When she fell and her sight gone blur, she thought of herself as going to meet death at eleven. The man smiled again, creepily. And that was her last memory before she lost conciousness.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCLWMcUJSm
When she woke up and regain conciousness, the first thing that crossed her mind was to thank God for still having a life. But she wondered.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTLxecKW9d
I'm alive. How?
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBbzOvRRXp
She tried to move, but her body contradict. She can't move! Why she can't move?! She breathed, she's having a hard time to breathe.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ1gldwTz7
She don't want this.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zdnU4rkCH
This is so painful.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcQcbZpeIU
The wounds. Her body can't move. She can't breathe like a normal person could.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC3t4YXrj7
She want to die.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8qn4Z7SY
Let me die! Just let me die, God! It's useless being like this! I like to walk! I want to meet my father and mother! I want to meet Corvina! I want to meet everyone!
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltEJ3AGAGi
She tried again, but it failed. Her tears began to fall.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHO1rsev71
"MOTHER!!!" She screamed, crying. "FATHER!!!" She coughed.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu983NtS8mR
She heard rushing steps as the doors of the room opened. She could only move her head, and when she turned it, she saw her mother and father together along with the maids and knights entering the room hurriedly.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsfIMOfgfd
"MOTHER! FATHER! WHY CAN'T I---" She screamed again, crying.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tDPF8FAdZ
Gale, her mother, rushed to her with eyes suffered for crying the whole week.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqhY9WFDam
When Gale hugged her tightly, Sloan thought of wanting to do it too. But she can't do something. So she cried even more.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOTH3Wk50w
"Why I can't move? I...I want to move. I want to breathe easily...why it's so hard to breathe...mother, I'm gonna die...it's so painful...!!!"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFj1IlTCBn
Gale cried even more too. "No, you will live, alright? You won't leave me, Sloan. Please, baby? Don't leave mother, alright? It hurts, it hurts, it will be alright, it will be alright, baby, you will be fine,"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS6JLntNCx
All Sloan could do was cry.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aJi87Ng1p
Shae clenched his fist and told the knight to call the physician at the first floor and told him that Sloan was awake.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l9s1380DT
Gale, still crying, turned her head to Shae, who was walking at a fast pace towards them.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ9gtWvCZV
"Shae, I don't know what to do, why can't I just take her pain? Why?" Gale panicked, shaking. Shae held her hand. He was suffering for crying the whole week too.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G53yzT9aC
Their child almost died. Her heart was barely beating when she was taken to the physician's place after she was found by Corvina. And both of them wasn't around. They never knew who did that.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkyNQ3VUKD
They could only know after their child was not in this condition anymore.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTECqXFsRX
Sloan was asleep for a month. She never woke up until then.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFF8hTFVhS
And when the time comes she was awake, she became mute for another four months. Sloan was always at the corner or staring at the ceiling, never wanting go out.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6iAU1gVZD
Gale and Shae both talk to her everytime even Corvina, who held the most guilt of them all. Corvina told Shae what happened. Shae was a little pissed off, but then he realized that she wasn't at fault. Corvina always take good care of his daughter.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp8GHr9yhm
Gale was the most patient for Sloan to get better. She never left Sloan the whole days for four months.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqXKqt0Rj6
"Sloan, would you mind if we go outside? Do you want to see flowers?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m2MaLpoSg
Sloan silently shake her head. She pointed the floor, signing 'only here'.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDYEYr4vy1
Gale could only suffer in silent torment.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78smLhCv9c
Shae too.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBgxVngioM
He was also always there after his duties and finding clue who did this thing to Sloan. He can't sleep. He's taking supplements to be awake the whole days. He'd do anything.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBnQ6zlalp
"Would you like us to play? Sloan, let's play, outside, not swords. If you don't want swords, let's go to the plaza. Let's buy..." Shae was interrupted.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurTPoGlpMd
Sloan shakes her head, pointing the floor. 'Just only here.'
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlHyt6jPqi
They couldn't do anything in those months but to stay by her side.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTziaEBsfN
One night, Sloan woke up. Her mother and father wasn't around in her room. She was alone. She dreamt of that creepy man again, and this time, she already remembered his face.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpWv2NE88Z
She remembered his face again. Now, she felt like there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. Her father, she felt, was stronger than anyone else. And by saying anyone else, she meant that that creepy man was one of them. No matter how that creepy man defeat people who's weaker than him, he can never defeat what's stronger than him.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToIqARllBx
She walked slowly, finally opening the door of her room for the first time once again. There outside, she saw the dark hallway. She walked slowly, having to recall the way to the kitchen area.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd1rfssh67
She walked down the stairs carefully, not wanting to wake up anyone else of the house. She took a lamp in the drawing room and head her way to the kitchen to got some food. She felt hungry.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AekxsKDjI
But as she was reaching the jar of biscuits on the cabinet, it fell and the jar broke. By that reason, the entire people of the house was awakened, being alert of everything after the young lady of the house had this cruel accident by someone.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5aThAjMQ0
The first person who was awakened was Gale, who rushed to the kitchen, and saw Sloan.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uIqJo4ou2
"Sloan...what are you...???"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecBDJfmnJZ
"...Mother?"
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0vZKMN86k
Gale was astonished, having to hear her talk again.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL0mS2fKNy
"What...Sloan? Baby? You can..."
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcA6kJWOoa
"Mother..." She repeated.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINSGTu0EgD
Gale's heart almost burst out of happiness and relief and rushed to get her a jar of biscuits.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT4OuDpSat
"Are you hungry?" Said Gale, tears on her eyes. Gale thought of herself that she looks stupid right now. Crying and giving her daughter food.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCIk93fwQX
When Shae and the other knights and maids entered the kitchen area, they were shocked for a minute. They saw Gale crying and smiling at the same time, and Sloan laughing along with her. She's already talking...God.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60gpjU1bXh
Shae cried too.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyz7hqJ2CP
The entire house was rejoiced once again.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3X1u5OlSF
"That's a terrible and funny memory," Sloan whispered to herself as her lip's corner lifted.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqRWcxNNEj
After that happened, Sloan described the creepy man to her father.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQbLI9DWrM
Turns out the creepy man was her father's rival. Shae always thought of him as greater than him at almost everything. But he has a darkness in his heart, he's always enveloped with envy. At this kingdom, many call him a fallen prodigy. The opposite of Shae, who was a named prodigy.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0U8xERC1u
He fought with Shae and left the kingdom when he lose, developed a black magic to transfer only to his sword and did wicked things. He went here for revenge, after so many years.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAyZppD16O
Shae travelled miles to find him and kill him. He was bestowed great honor after that, even to another kingdom. He just killed the evil man that's pestering the two kingdoms for more than a decade.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXbrsgJd45
Shae was a hero, she's also a great father, many women strive for him. But still, Gale left his place again once Sloan recovered. Sloan was then spending half of the year on her father, and half of the year on her mother.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ahlVAs26Q
Shae knows, that Gale never once changed her mind since she was decided and determined.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvGplb8ul2
That way, they will live in peace.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vcQ9xRN3f
Sloan looked outside the window and her fingertips travelled through the window glass.
148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdENS5xiSDQ
There was a snow outside, falling slowly through everywhere.
